P. PEARSON 1950 20 Jacklighted twice down this wash for about 1/4 mile, but saw nothing. One bat banging under the concrete wood bridge I just didn't get it. July 5 Nothing in traps so shot birds: 2 quail, 1 kingbird, 5 Coryphospingus, 1 Crotaphaga sulcirostris, and 1 coetus wren. Didn't get around to the Crotaphaga and threw out the coetus wren because it was in such worn plumage. Jacklighting after supper shot another brush dog by the bridge over the dry wash where my traps are. Eyes yellow-white, no orange or green. She stopped running when I squealed. July 6 Temp at dawn 18°. Morning all sunny. Temp at noon 31 1/2°, humidity 40 ±. One small fly in my traps in tall grass. Skinned for aid and bird in a.m. and packed up a lot of specimens to store in Villanueva. Drove to Villanueva in afternoon left specimens + fossils there, hunted bats, and walked home after dark as no gasoline. In the peak of bell tower of the church among the beams were 7 large Phyllostomids (Bastetia?). Caught 3 of them and 4 escaped through the bell
